About Diva Nails

Diva Nails is a nail salon located in Santa Cruz, known for its excellent work and fair prices. Customers have shared positive experiences, with one arriving with damaged nails from a previous appointment and leaving with beautiful nails. They specialize in acrylic nails, particularly French-tip and plain white acrylic sets. Recently, Gel X services have also gained popularity, with customers expressing their satisfaction with the beautiful designs and quick service. However, it is noted that their service can sometimes be slow, leading to long waits even with appointments. Despite this, the attention to detail and skills are generally considered worth the wait. Diva Nails accommodates groups by taking walk-ins and tries to serve them as best as possible. The salon offers a variety of services, including manicures, pedicures, and facials. Their pedicure options include a "special dry feet" treatment, which features a leg scrub, hot stone massage, foot mask, and other pampering treatments. The salon has a clean and relaxing atmosphere, with good ventilation and a wide selection of colors to choose from. One customer even compared their facial room to a spa day. The staff at Diva Nails are friendly and helpful, with some being very talented, such as June and Tracy, who have received high recommendations. They may upsell services but respect customers' choices if they decline. While some staff members may not speak English, there are usually others available to assist in communication. Overall, Diva Nails is a great choice for nail and beauty services in Santa Cruz, especially for those willing to wait for their appointment or who need a last-minute walk-in spot.

    I got Gel X and I am obsessed! They’re done so beautifully, it wasn’t a long process, the price was great, and the design was exactly what I had pictured! Tracy did them and I’ll be going back to her every time!
    I suggest making an appointment, they can be a little busy!

    Came in on a Sunday as a “walk-in” and I had no wait. I was with Jolee (unsure on spelling). She was so sweet… did an amazing job. Not to mention they have a huge selection of gel colors. I had a gel on before that she had to remove, and I got a gel manicure. Amazing pricing too.
